Exhibit Reception: The Practice of Curiosity

Join us for an opening reception celebrating artist Erin Mullis's new exhibition at the Holland Area Arts Council. This show features abstract expressionist paintings that explore how play, intuition, and curiosity shape creative work. Mullis's pieces use vibrant colors, organic forms inspired by nature, and spontaneous mark-making to invite viewers into a more open and exploratory mindset. Her work emphasizes that curiosity is an active practice—one that encourages us to embrace uncertainty, discovery, and transformation rather than chasing perfection. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience art that celebrates playfulness and emotional resilience. The paintings remind us that beauty exists in imperfection and that genuine growth often comes from wandering, noticing, and staying open to new experiences. Food and wine will be served, making this a relaxed social event for families and art lovers of all ages.
